Is Time an Illusion?

Is Time an Illusion?

Marc Lee

http://www.pic-me.com/

Pic-me invites you to virtually fly to the locations from where users send randomly selected posts to Instagram, thus creating another view on how the media handles posts on social networks. One might describe these posts – images or short videos accompanied by comments, tags and geolocalization – as a kind of digital small talk or personal conversation. Different than face to face conversations, these fleeting thoughts are accumulated and archived by governments, corporations, and research institutes and then transformed into everlasting stories as well. We can’t tell yet, what the consequences of archiving these often personal and emotional posts are in the long run.

The work by Marc Lee makes us think about the properties of the digital realm and what happens to the data that is generated by people all over the globe. The project, available online at http://www.picme. com, can be shown as an installation, in an interactive form.

Untitled: Archive (migration ) 无题:文献(迁移)

http://www.knutasdam.net/

Untitled: Archive (migration), consists of a large body of images taken from an organic, growing archive collected from books, the Internet and other publicly accessible sources. It started as a way to look at how migration has been represented in images over the last couple of centuries, in order to work on the building-up of scenes in Åsdam’s films; but it grew and took on its own syntax and logic. The material ranges from the obvious and explanatory to images that are more surprising or tangential and associative. As the archive grew it gained a sub-theme of adaptation to change. An interrelationship among the pictures, presented independently of their original contexts, is formed where connections, similarities and differences arise across their varied origins. A snapshot cross-section of the recent history of change, conflict, the dramatic and the mundane — often within the same images.

无题:文献(迁移),是Knut选择的一个项目,这个项目涉及到3000张以上的图片,艺术家强调了选择这些图片的意义,以及那些图片可能解释其思考节点,如同一个巨大云图,几乎涉及了诸多今天关于文化、宗教、政治的冲突现场,而艺术家仅仅是提供这些图像吗?他将这些看作历史的重要时刻来保藏——特别响;特别近。这可能是认识伤痛以及共享情感现实的方式,当这些图片成为覆盖、阻挡视线的障碍时,也许会让人思考,现实是什么?我在哪里?所有这些图像都伴随着搜索引擎,提供了更复杂的关于迁移这一概念,计算机和行为方式的收集整理,也正在形成超越人类创造词汇的知识边界,Knut将这一情况呈现,如同一个有着网瘾的人,希望持续的通过这些图像激发思考关于现实社会的潜在危机或想象力。——李振华

Trilogy by Chris Paul Daniels

Daniels presents three short sequences documenting the specific viewpoints from hotel rooms where he stayed in Hong Kong, Chongqing and Macau.

These films attempt to process the rapid movements and energies from the immediate environments briefly observed by the artist.

The frenetic action of the metropolitan spaces rapidly shifts between day and night and expose the scale of the collective habitats within view. Trilogy by Chris Paul Daniels

Zen for Internet

Com&Com

Zen for Internet,

2014

Boredom, materiality, nothingness, silence, time, trace

Zen for Internet was conceived by Swiss artists Marcus Gossolt and Johannes M. Hedinger, who form the collective Com&Com. Using the iconography of the internet and computer, the work features an endlessly rotating “loading wheel” on a white background. Typically, the “loading wheel” is a temporary, in-between state before the fully loaded image appears. Zen for Internet, however, indefinitely freezes the in-between-ness; the final image never arrives. The artists conceived of this work existing in a variety of media: as a website, www.zen-net.org, a thirty-minute video, a painting, or as various types of merchandise including prints and t-shirts. In addition to appropriating the themes of time and boredom from Paik’s Zen for Film, Zen for Internet  can “authentically” exist in a variety of media rather than as a single instantiation, alluding to the multiple existences of Zen for Film.
